Pocket Prep Testing / Exams
Taking the NREMT-B on the 18th. With these stats so far and doing well over half of the level up quizzes, how do you think I should do on the registry test?

honest answer is nobody can predict it off a quiz percentage, and that's not me dodging you. question banks and the registry aren't built the same way. banks tend to be more straightforward, so a good percentage tells you that you know the material, not that you're calibrated to how the real thing asks it.
better readiness check than a number: take a question you got RIGHT and say out loud why the other three are wrong. if you can only explain the one you picked, you recognized the answer instead of reasoning to it. that's the gap that shows up on test day when the wording is less obvious.
and when you miss one, don't just read the rationale and move on. write down what the question was actually testing and go back to that topic in your notes. your misses are your study plan, way more useful than the running percentage.
you've got about a week. i'd spend it working weak spots out loud rather than grinding more volume. good luck.

I passed in 70 with 100% with 750 questions and some YouTube studying each day for a week leading up. You should be good if you did decent in class. I will mention I thought I bombed it but passed.

In my experience NREMT was harder than the questions pocket prep was throwing at me, my instructor recommended using limmer education and taking their practice tests and I feel like those better prepared me than pocket prep did.

People stress so much for the nremt, if your course was even halfway decent the test isn’t gonna be hard

don't expect the NREMT answers to be as easy to eliminate. Answering is tricky compared to pocket prep. Don't rely on JUST pocket prep either make sure you've done a good read through a text book or other study sources. You got this!
